well chicago does still have 2 brauns at the airport one that is 2006 f 350 was even t boned coming out of the fire house at rescue 3 back in 2023 and the car that hit it was totaled and the ambulance just a dent in the side

as for medix franklin pk is the only dept that i know that has this brand and it has been great to them the reserve is a 2019 and the frontline 2 is a 2024 both great

as far as demers i only one big dept that has been buying demers for at least 6 years now and is a very busy dept and that is madison il

Hairy – I have say I disagree. Braun ambulances are junk. Back when Chicago was exclusively buying Braun, they had consistent issues with seams separating. Braun, Demers, Medix, and Crestline are all part of a conglomerate group. None of these lines are high quality.

Wheeled Coach is definitely a good choice.

I know some people who are anti REV Group. In this case, there are still some options like Lifeline, Osage, and PL Custom that I would highly recommend.
